Dharmakaya Amitabha, I supplicate you.
Sambhogakaya Great Compassionate One, I supplicate you,
Nirmanakaya Padmakara, I supplicate you.
My guru, wonderful nirmanakaya,
In the land of India, you were born, you studied and contemplated.
Journeying in person to Tibet, you tamed the demonic forces.
Residing in the land of Uddiyana, you acted for the welfare of beings.
Through your kindness, bestow your blessings upon me.
Through your affection, guide myself and others on the path.
Through your realization, grant me the siddhis.
Through your powers, dispel the obstacles of myself and others.
Clear the outer obstacles externally.
Clear the inner obstacles internally.
Clear the secret obstacles spontaneously.
Respectfully I bow and take refuge in you.

You performed sadhana in the forest of the Slate Mountain.
Throwing your recitation dagger into the sky’s expanse,
You caught it and rolled with your vajra mudra.
Rolling, you threw it into to the sandalwood forest,
The fire blazed and the lake dried up.
Instantly you burned away all the places of the tirthikas
And reduced the black yakshas to dust.

Protecting your devoted disciples.

The is extracted from the External Practice in the Manner of Supplication included in the Sheldam Nyingjang of Lamey Tukdrub Barchey Kunsel that was discovered by the undisputed and timely incarnated great treasure revealer, Orgyen Chokgyur Dechen Lingpa, from beneath the foot of the Great Glorious One at Danyin Khala Rongo. May this be a cause for utterly pacifying all hindrances and decline, for the buddhadharma as well as for beings, and a cause for completely fulfilling all wishes of self and others. Sarva mangalam!
